A real international collection of Engrish from various countries all over the globe. Photos are not Asia-centric, but there are a few here and there from China and Japan. Paperback: 160 pages From the Publisher: As anyone who has spent time on the road knows, you often have to depend on signs...to navigate through a town, locate your hotel, even obey the law - a scary thought if you've ever come across any of the publicly posted absurdities that appear in this book. Signs about as easy to understand as a Swahili auctioneer (to a non-Swahili speaker) or as well-planned as the dance steps in a mosh pit with the help of signspotters around the globe, we've assembled a collection of some of the most unintentionally entertaining postings on the planet - we hope they confuse and amuse you! $7.99 | Lonely Planet did it again with this 2nd installment of hilarious signs from around the world. As with the first book, it is not Asia-centric in focus but there are plenty of examples from China and Japan. Paperback: 160 pages From the Publisher: So, you're back on the road, it's getting dark and you've lost your spot on the map - this is one way to get off the beaten tourist track! Unless, of course, you're willing to take directions from the signs found within these covers. Perhaps you fancy a weekend at the George Bush Centre for Intelligence, or are willing to navigate your way around a city despite the 'Explosion!' signs on every corner. Whatever adventure you're after - whether it be a trip to the Curry Prevention Services Unit in Oregon or the Ha Ha Cemetary in New Brunswick, Canada - let our new collection of signs from around the globe guide, confuse and amuse you! $9.99 |
